G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707 3, 707 1, 707 2, 707100, 707101, 707102

Abstract:

An extensible markup language (XML) expression included in a query is parsed to yield an abstract syntax tree. The abstract syntax tree is then transformed into a unified tree including XML algebra operations. The unified tree is then converted into a relational tree including enhanced relational algebra operations. The relational tree is then forwarded to a query processor for optimization and execution of the query at the query processor.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

707100, 707 4, 707200, 717108

Abstract:

Several embodiments of the present invention are directed to systems and methods for extending the UDT framework of an extended relational data store (ERDS) to include support for unordered collections (multisets) and ordered collection (lists). More specifically, several embodiments of the present invention use an UDT infrastructure, CLR generics, and a new UNNEST operator to create and utilize a special type abstraction for collections that is simultaneously a scalar and a relation. As a scalar, this collection type can be processed by all parts of the data store engine that understand scalars (including but not limited to the client stack) and, as a relation, this collection type is queriable like any other type of relation.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707 2, 707 3

Abstract:

A suggested query execution plan is used as a constraint on a guided optimization process such that all execution plans that do not conform to the suggested execution plan are eliminated as possible alternatives. If the guided optimization process successfully generates a resulting execution plan, then the result will conform to the suggested execution plan. If the guided optimization process fails to generate a resulting execution plan, then it may be determined that the suggested execution plan is invalid.

US Classification:

707100, 707 4, 717106, 717108

Abstract:

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a database with an extensible type system for at least one user-defined type that comprises information for describing its structure as well as information for describing an inheritance relationship between itself and another user-defined type (either a subtype or a supertype/base type). For certain embodiments, the user-defined type is defined in something other than Sequential Query Language (SQL) statement such as, for example, a Common Language Runtime (CLR) statement, a statement in C, C++, and C# (“C-sharp”), and/or a visual basic statement. In any event, several embodiments are further directed to a system wherein the database is aware of the inheritance relationship between two user-defined types by an explicit registration of the user-defined types with said database.

International Classification:

F21V 33/00

US Classification:

362102, 362 96, 362101, 362318, 362577

Abstract:

This invention is a light baton for use in aquatic games, comprising a translucent baton body, end inserts at both ends of the baton body, an end insert connected to an inserted light-emitting module, holes in the translucent baton body, and arcuate convex protuberances on the outer surface of the translucent baton body; the holes in the translucent baton body allow water to flow in and surround the light-emitting module, with the change in air and water density causing the baton to sink in water, while the liquid has a refractive effect on the colorful lights from the light-emitting module; the colorful beams of light pass through and are refracted by the ripples in the liquid within the baton body to produce illumination, making the baton ideal for having fun in water.

US Classification:

424401, 424 63, 424 64

Abstract:

Shine-enhancing film formers are used to formulate cosmetic compositions in which shine is a desired property. Shine-enhancing film formers may be used alone for a high degree of shine or in combination with other film formers to modify the degree of shine. Using shine-enhancing film formers in cosmetics compositions often accomplishes increased shine properties while retaining other properties favorable to cosmetic compositions such as transfer-resistance.
